Front Row and Lion OS X

I was trying out an apple remote and reading some info, i realized and confirmed that Front Row as a built in app has been removed for the Lion operating system. It was still on Snow Leopard but I guess apple decided to remove it.

Does anyone know if it is still available? I cannot seem to find any further info on it on the Apple site.

It is still available but for the life of me I can't remember where.
I did a search for it and installed it without issue and it works just fine
with Lion.
I'm just sorry I can't remember where I found it. Sorry.

Search arounf for "front row enabler." download it and it should work, although I seem to recall it has some issues with some content.

If you want something that works better, try Plex, http://www.plexapp.com/

frontrow.

MAC file problem

Posted by: "J2210" j_YahooReg200510@ordinary.com   tw22102200

2011 12 29

This may be only an Excel problem and maybe not unique to my MBPro (early 2010, running 10.6.8 & Office 2008). I seem to recall it also has happened on one or more other macs.

Sometimes when clicking on an excel file to open it, I get a message to the effect that the file "cannot be found". It does not matter if I drag & drop it to excel in the dock, no effect. The only way I can open the file is to drag or copy it to the desktop (or sometimes just to a level one below it), and then open it.

It's not a function of a file being way down deep in the file system. This happens with files that are only one level down from the desktop.

Has anyone got a clue? It is really annoying, though it does not happen with all excel files.

Thanks and a Happy New Year to all!
